CHAPTER XVI

On the eastern battlefield where Heng and Yi are fighting, the war permeates the canyon area north of Hengguo Beicheng and south of Dingcheng in the southeast of Yiguo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The canyon winds for more than ten miles, the walls stand thousands of miles, and the strange rocks are volleyed. Walking through the valley, wandering and twisting. The valley road mountain rocks are strange and steep, which is daunting. However, this mountain beam seems to be insurmountable, but there is a crack in the middle, running through the north and south of the mountain beam, which is called "Zhongnan". The ancient road in the south of the country is famous for its dangers, connecting the Yiguo trade road in the north and the Hengguo Beicheng in the south, connecting the vast Central Plains and the rich south, and it is the throat road of the north and the south in history. This important pass is guarded by Zhan Duxiao, the palace master of the Hengguo Demon Palace.

Xiuyuan, the second prince who succeeded Xiuxi, the great prince of Yi State, had a big gap between his military talent and Xiuxi, so the original battle situation in which the armies of Heng and Yi were evenly matched had evolved into a situation in which the Heng army completely suppressed the Yi army.

After entering May, He Zheng and Lonely Ling remained in front of the formation, while Zhan Duxiao, Jiao Ying, and Yu Jie, withdrew and retreated to the palace. Zhan Duxiao, who got a short rest, relaxed a little, and was surrounded by the longing for Chan'er, in order to relieve this mood, Zhan Duxiao went to the Drunken Phoenix Building alone with the memories of him and Chan'er.

The two countries were at war before, but the city was as usual, and there was no disturbance or panic in the city. It seems that in the eyes of the people of Bay City, the winner of this battle is none other than the Heng Army. This is of course related to the heroic deeds of King Wenjun that have been handed down for many years and the local people's martial and brave folk customs, but on the other hand, it is not unrelated to the status of the rivers and lakes that are difficult to shake easily. Because they knew that there were many masters in the Demon Palace, and the palace master Zhan Duxiao was unpredictable, the people were full of confidence in the direction of the war.

Reflected in the drunken Huang Building, it is a scene of singing and dancing. Business people, family visits, business people, people from all over the world gather here, the scene is peaceful and lively.

Zhan Duxiao sat down in the corner of the first floor of the restaurant, ordered a pot of acacia flower stuff and two side dishes, and then stopped talking. Due to his low-key trip and his intention to hide in the shadow with his back to the candlelight, the servant in the restaurant did not recognize his identity for a while, which also allowed him to quietly immerse himself in his thoughts.

Recalling the staring with Chan'er on the bank of the Yudai River, the fight in front of the drunken Huanglou without knowing each other, and a series of things that happened later, even if it was not a memory of one or two times, there was still a warmth in Zhan Duxiao's heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a warm smile.

At this moment, a wandering man walked into the Zuihuang Building, and after some negotiation with the owner of the restaurant, the man sat down in the lobby of the restaurant, playing the erhu in his hand while singing a slightly sad tune. As soon as the tune sounded, it attracted all the attention of Zhan Duxiao.

Time turns, what year / The wind has dispersed / Dig out the sword that once broke off / Who is willing

Drunken drunkenness drowns love/But can't isolate thoughts/Tears the love cocoon he makes/gushes out the last drop of blood.

Wave your hand and don't look back/A piece of madness for whom/Turn around and go, how to be willing to let go

There are too many reasons to hold hands and break up/Yiren goes to tears

Having laughed and cried too many reasons / Love has rotted

Between the singing of the man, the love of the twilight night was deep, and he almost cried, and his heart could not be calm for a long time. really fulfilled that sentence, touching the scene and giving birth to love. At this time, of course, Zhan Duxiao never imagined that he and Chan'er would be able to see each other again soon.

~~~

In mid-May, the rainy season was ushered in in various countries, and most of the battlefields suffered due to the characteristics of the terrain. The continuous rain lasted for more than a month, during which the soldiers who left home and the separated lovers missed their hometown and sweethearts the most.

In mid-June, the Gudu Gong Wangfu -

The light rain fell for most of the day, and there was no sign of the rain stopping. Chan'er, who has not been out for many days, is bored and instructs the people to help her move the guqin to the pavilion in the courtyard of the palace, so that the world outside the pavilion is raining, but the sound of the piano is curling in the pavilion, which not only adds a bit of romance to the rainy weather, but also is a mood adjustment.

Chan'er looked at the rain outside the pavilion and was distracted, while her hands were unconsciously plucking the strings, and after an afternoon, she actually played a tune.

"What tune is the county lord playing? Xi Tao handed Chan'er a cup of tea and said.

"I played it casually. Chan'er took the tea, drank half a cup, and handed it back to Xi Tao, "Do you think it sounds good?"

"It's good. The melody is mild without losing the rhythm, and it is even better with words. ”

"Peach ......"

"Hmm, what does the county lord command?"

"Let's leave the Demon Palace...... It's been four months, right?"

"yes, it's been four months. ”

"What will he do at this time......

"The slave guessed that the lord of the Zhan Palace must also be thinking about the county lord, thinking about whether the county lord is doing well and unhappy every day. ”

Chan'er listened to what Xi Tao said, just smiled, didn't answer, stroked the guqin with her hand, and repeated the melody that she had inadvertently groped out. After a song, Chan'er calmed down, and after a while, she seemed to have an idea in her heart, and then played it again with the lyrics.

The most beautiful scene of my life / is to meet you / quietly staring at you in the vast sea of people / strange and familiar

Even though I breathe the breath of the same sky / I can't hug you / If I change my identity and name / I hope I can recognize your eyes

Where will you be in a thousand years / What kind of scenery will you have around you / Our story is not beautiful / but it is so hard to forget

If you had been brave enough to be together at the beginning / Would it have ended differently / Would you have a thousand words / Buried in a silent dream

"The county lord plays well and sings well. Xi Tao applauded again and again, "The slave maid will come over with a pen and paper and help you write down the score." ”

"Hmm. Chan'er agreed, looked up and saw that the rain was gradually stopping, paused, and called Xitao and said, "It's dinner time in a while, let's go back to the house and remember." ”

"It's fine. ”

Xitao immediately carefully held the guqin in her arms, followed Chan'er's side, and the two walked out of the pavilion together.

Back in the room, Xi Tao was grinding beside her, and when Chan'er recorded the score, she went to the small kitchen to check the dinner. Chan'er walked to the bookcase and put the piano away, staring at the piano, not knowing what to think, she was stunned for a while before turning around and walking inside, ready to take a nap before eating.

When she was about a foot away from the bed, Chan'er suddenly stopped.

"Who is it?" Chan'er's gaze lingered on the curtain behind the partition.

The curtain didn't shake in the slightest, and there was no movement in the room.

Chan'er frowned slightly, she was too careful, she thought so, and took two steps forward.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind the curtain and approached her.

Chan'er subconsciously took a step back, and then her hand touched the sword left by her father Yuan Xia on the wall beside her.

But the person who came moved faster than her, and in an instant, he was deceived in front of Chan'er. I saw a masked and black man, judging from his figure, he seemed to be a man.

Seeing that the man in black was getting closer and closer to her, Chan'er was about to shout, and when a voice and two words floated into her ears, she instantly froze in place and couldn't move again.

"Girl......" The man in black muttered in a low voice, pulling down his scarf and leaning over to kiss Chan'er's lips.

As caught off guard as it was ten years ago, so unrefusal, so familiar......

In the darkness, only the sound of the man's powerful heartbeat, Chan'er's rhythmic heartbeat, and the rapid breathing of the two were heard.

As if a long, long time had passed, and as if it had only been a moment, the man took a step back, stood up straight, and looked at Chan'er without moving.

“…… Brother Xiao. Chan'er tentatively and quietly cried out, as if she was worried that if the voice was louder, the figure would disappear from her eyes.

Before the man could reply, five other figures had already jumped in through the window.

With a little light from the clear sky, Chan'er looked over one by one, her eyes full of unbelievable joy.

Of the five men, two stood to the left of the man in black, the other three stood on the right, and after the six stood in a line, they knelt down on one knee in unison.

"The subordinates are empty......

Wind Jade Yang ......

Shen Xiao......

Bow Fox ......

Tang Yin......

Dragon's Remnant ......

See the master. Six people said from left to right.

Chan'er opened her mouth twice for a while, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak, and it was not until the third time that she finally found her voice:

"Hurry up. ”

"Yes. The six people stood up and looked at Chan'er respectfully.

"Brother Lin, Brother Yuyang, Brother Xiao......" Chan'er saw Shen Xiao, her mind became blank, and she paused for a moment before she looked away, "Brother Fox, Brother Yin, Brother Youyou." You're all safe, great!"

"Let the county lord worry, we're all fine. Kong Lin showed a warm smile and said.

"But why, you haven't been back to the palace......"

"I'm sorry, Lord Shire. The princess gave us one last order before she died, and she didn't want the lord to bear the hatred, so she pinned her hopes on us. Feng Yuyang said, Ping raised a white jade flute in his hand, "This is a token given to us by the princess, and today in ten years, we can finally return it to the county lord." ”

"It's the concubine's jade flute. Chan'er took the white jade flute, and her eyes instantly moistened, "What did she tell you to do?

"Yes. In the past ten years, we have all been incognito and have a new identity, but I'm sorry, the old thing of Emperor Jing is still alive in the world. Bow Fox replied.

Chan'er shook her head, choked back tears but tried to laugh, and said:

"The most important thing is that you are all safe. ”

"Thank you for your continued concern, from today onwards, our brotherhood will stay by the county lord's side, and you won't have to worry anymore. Tang Yin smiled and eased the atmosphere, "Actually, the sixth brother has been following the county lord for four years. ”

When Chan'er heard this, she looked at Long Youyou.

"Back then, I was injured by Chang Li, and I was taken in by Moge, and I have been invisible to Moge for a few years. ”

"I'm by the side of the county lord's uncle, King Mingjun. The prince originally had two powerful subordinates, one bright and one dark, and Yelu was Ming, and the county lord also knew about it, and Dark, was sent to the Night Kingdom. So I took his place. It just so happens that we are both left-handed. Kong Lin continued, "The second brother infiltrated the Yi Kingdom court and became a famous Marquis of Le Qi, always delivering messages to us. The third brother assumed the alias 'Shan Xiao' and infiltrated the Yi State Star Altar, where he was the master of the north gate, the head of the four gates, and it was also an excellent channel for collecting information. The fourth brother is active in the dark as the killer 'Lightning Fox', which makes Jinghuang have a lot of nightmares. The fifth brother walked in black and white, made countless friends, and cleared many levels. ”

"Ten years, these ten years, if you return to the palace, you will now become a prince and general no less than your father, but you choose to live in the shadow of swords and swords for the sake of Prince Gong's mansion...... Such a deep gratitude, please accept Chan'er's worship. Chan'er said, bowing in front of the six people.

"County Lord!" Kong Lin and the others stretched out their hands to stop them.

"This is what I owe you, and if you stop me, don't stay. Chan'er was resolute.

Several people looked at each other, and they had never panicked in the face of thousands of troops, but they were at a loss at the moment, so they had to bear Chan'er's salute.

Afterwards, Feng Yuyang helped Chan'er up and said:

"In the past few years, we have not only worked as hard as the county lord thought, but also good things. ”

"Yes, the eldest brother and the second brother have got married, and the eldest brother has a son. Long Youxuan also said.

"Congratulations to Brother Lin, congratulations to Brother Yuyang. I wonder when I'll see them?"

"Although they haven't met, the county lord will definitely be no stranger to the two sisters-in-law. Tang Yin explained, "The sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of Mr. Tuoba, Tuoba Hua, and the child's name is empty, and she will turn five years old this year." The second sister-in-law is also the daughter of Mr. Tuoba, Tuoba Yue. ”

"It turned out that it was Brother Yuyang who married Sister Tuoba Yue. Chan'er subconsciously remembered Guo Ye.

"The county lord and their sisters have such a deep fate, they can see each other sooner or later. The county lord hasn't eaten yet, right?

"You're not going to go again, are you?" Chan'er looked back and forth at the people.

"We won't say goodbye without the county lord's consent. ”

"That's good. Your room, except for the time when I lost my memory, was remembered by King Fu, and I ordered someone to clean it on other days. Nothing has changed as before. ”

"Hasn't everything changed......" Shen Xiao muttered, her eyes complicated, "The county lord stays, and his subordinates retire." ”

Watching Shen Xiao leave, Chan'er was inexplicably weak for a while, and Kong Lin shook her head, knowing that Shen Xiao's heart knot was difficult to untie for a while. Several people know that Shen Xiao likes Chan'er, and Long Youqian also likes Chan'er, but the only one who really knows everything between Shen Xiao and Chan'er is Kong Lin, which is why Kong Lin will agree to let Shen Xiao return to the palace alone.
